All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 42 The Peerless Eight Trigrams Formation!
"So it turns out the military dogs were carrying oil, intending to destroy each other by covering the battlefield in flames!" Chu Xiu shook his head and sighed after learning the situation: "The plan was good, but the timing was wrong. If we had used this tactic in the first round of eliminations, with the markers in place, we might have succeeded!"

But at that time, Chen Tugou didn't have enough dogs or enough kerosene.

We can wait for the next round of eliminations and then use firepower to cover the marked targets.

Unfortunately, Chen the butcher didn't get his chance.

He has already been killed by Dian Wei.

As for Shen Tianci, he could wait for the next elimination, but unfortunately, Chu Xiu's weakness also has a time limit. After taking Chen Tugou's head, it's uncertain whether he will still be afraid of being overwhelmed by firepower.

"One kill, plus three skill points. Let me see the effect of the level 10 ultimate!"

With anticipation, Chu Xiu raised the number of kills to the next level.

The next moment, his panel attributes changed to:
Name: Chu Xiu

[Occupation: Wuhou]

【Level: 10】

【Strength: 18】

[Agility: 19]

【Spirit: 221】

[Stamina: 17]

[Skills: Troop Deployment (Passive), Four-Wheel Illusion Lv9, Star Lamp Life Extension Lv1, God and Demon Unrivaled Eight Trigrams Formation (No Level)]

Available skill points: 3

With his spirit attribute reaching over 220, in a Tier 1 dungeon where the attribute cap is only 200 points, he has 10% higher main attributes than max-level players of the same class!
The passive coverage area has also been further improved.

However, to his surprise, the level 10 ultimate skill "Gods and Demons Unparalleled Eight Trigrams Formation" does not require skill points, nor can its level be increased using skill points.

It's not that his "infinite man" talent is useless.

Rather, this skill is very special.

Its level increases based on other skills. In other words, adding points to other skills is equivalent to adding points to it!

One skill point, two effects.

"To be honest, this level ten skill is really not something that should exist in a first-tier world!"

[Skill: Unparalleled Divine Demon Eight Trigrams Formation]

[Attribute 1: Divine and Demonic: The soldiers you use to set up formations can conceal their tracks within the formation's area! Furthermore, enemies entering your formation will have their vision, hearing, and touch greatly impaired, making it impossible for them to discern terrain and direction!]

[Attribute 2: Unparalleled: Your active skills will be transformed into unparalleled divine skills!]

【Peerless - Feather Fan East Wind: Within the formation, you can create floods, flying rocks, and earthquakes to attack your enemies. The power depends on the wind force your skill can manipulate!】

[Peerless - Chibi Heavenly Fire: Within the formation, the fire oil becomes an area-of-effect attack; the original release range becomes the release area, and the release range restriction is removed!]

[Peerless Four-Wheel Mystery: When the skill's stealth effect is triggered, you can fly and disappear into the ground!]

[Peerless - Star Lantern Life Extension: The skill effect becomes an area-of-effect attack, allowing it to be cast on both yourself and all troops in formation. Furthermore, the skill effect persists even after the formation is dispelled!]

[Attribute 3 Array Diagram: You can craft a magic weapon array diagram. Activate this skill when you have no troops!]

[Note: This skill does not have levels, but improving your other skills will enhance its effect!]

The skill has three attributes. The effect of the first attribute is reflected in the arrangement of military formations, which can make the soldiers who set up the "Gods and Demons Unparalleled Eight Trigrams Formation" hide their tracks.

Furthermore, it can create a full-body hallucinogenic effect on enemies.

It's essentially an upgraded version of the "Zhuge Bagua Formation." It no longer requires flying sand to confuse the enemy, and once the enemy charges into the formation, they cannot see the soldiers who set up the formation, even if they are right in front of them.

It can be said that it is extremely perverted.

Imagine two armies are at war, and all the soldiers on one side are invisible. How can they possibly fight?
Directly invincible!

However, compared to the second attribute of a skill, it pales in comparison—upgrading an active skill to a "peerless divine skill" that alters the skill's effect.

The force of a feather fan-shaped east wind can be transformed into floods, flying rocks, and earthquakes.

Although the conversion efficiency is unknown, it's safe to assume it can't be small. The wind itself is actually quite powerful, but because it's so dispersed, it doesn't cause harm to people.

After the state is transformed, the power is concentrated and increased exponentially.

As for the Chibi Heavenly Fire, it goes without saying: the effect of a level three "Chibi Heavenly Fire" is just a few ounces of burning oil, and its release distance is only one hundred meters, which is negligible.

After it can be transformed into a peerless divine skill, the release distance of 100 meters becomes the coverage area.

The restriction of three ounces of kerosene disappeared immediately.

Furthermore, there is no longer a release range. As long as one is within the "Gods and Demons Unparalleled Eight Trigrams Formation," one can release it at will—covering a radius of 100 meters with flames. The power of this spell is unmatched by ordinary cannonballs!

This only applies to level three.

As the level increases, the effect will be further enhanced, with no upper limit!

As for "Four-Wheel Maze," wow, it directly adds the effect of "flying and escaping," and it's effective as long as "concealment" is triggered.

In this way, Chu Xiu could either fly into the sky or disappear underground.

Even if there are signs indicating the end of the cycle, so what?
Can anyone else hit me?

Come here!

"And then there's the ultimate skill 'Star Lamp Life Extension,' which directly becomes a group effect. Once the skill is activated, everyone can be resurrected once, and the effect won't be lost when the formation is dispelled. Does this even allow others to play?"

Just looking at the four "unparalleled divine skills" is already absolutely heaven-defying.

Let alone the character templates in the ordinary Three Kingdoms, even if someone transforms into Lu Bu from "Dynasty Warriors: Three Kingdoms" and can destroy half a mountain with one blow, or transforms into Guan Yu, the God of War from "Storm Riders" and can destroy a city stretching for dozens of miles with one move of "Love of the City", he can still argue with it!
Furthermore, this level 10 ultimate skill is not limited to "using people to form a formation".

The last attribute is the ability to collect materials and refine magic weapon array diagrams. Once successfully refined, Chu Xiu can carry it with him and activate the "Peerless Eight Trigrams Array" anytime, anywhere!
Even if they no longer need to use troops in the future, their individual combat capabilities will still be incredibly formidable!

"Since the level 10 ultimate skill doesn't require any skill points, and I only have three skill points, which isn't enough to break through the limit of my smaller skills, I'll put them all into the level 9 ultimate skill 'Star Lamp Life Extension' and let me see the breakthrough effect!"

With that in mind, Chu Xiu put all three skill points into his level nine ultimate skill.

[Skill: Starlight Life Extension Lv4]

[Level 1 Max Attribute: After death, resurrect at a pre-arranged Seven Star Lamp. This can only be triggered once per game. After the reward is settled, there is no limit to the number of uses, but you need to create the Seven Star Lamp yourself.]

[Level 2 Skill Breakthrough Attribute: Your resurrection limit is removed, replaced by a time limit. The base interval is one day, and the interval doubles after each trigger! As a reward, resurrection will not damage star lamps, and the cooldowns of different star lamps are calculated separately!]

[Level 3 Skill Breakthrough Attribute: When releasing the skill, an additional special 'wick' is consumed, permanently extending the target's lifespan by ten years. The user can choose not to use a wick! This skill shares a cooldown with the resurrection effect. When used as a reward, the increased lifespan will damage the Star Lamp!]

[Level 4 Skill Breakthrough Attribute: Lifespan Increase Effect Increased to Twenty Years!]

"Level three can increase lifespan by ten years. So, in the original work, Zhuge Liang's level nine ultimate move actually has three levels, just like his minor moves. It's just that it's limited by the world level and can only exert the effect of level one?"

From this perspective, even without Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang would not have been able to extend his life.

To defy fate and change one's destiny, one must ultimately be an "infinite being." Being within the universe, one cannot break free from its constraints. Even if Zhuge Liang possessed extraordinary abilities, he could not defy destiny.

Then the problem is coming.

"The Star Lamp Life Extension can be used multiple times, and I can also set up formations remotely, and the effect becomes group-wide after the formation is activated... Those who believe in me may not live forever, but they can definitely be resurrected on the spot!"
